Nato chief says continent cannot afford to replace American security umbrella
WTF Mark!
It is going to be kind of expensive for the EU to replace the non-expeditionary capabilities of the US military. There are also some parts, like a nuclear umbrella, which are going to need to be worked out.
It isn’t impossible, but it is going to be pretty expensive and a lot of it should be built at the supernational level, preferably the EU.
The thing is, it will not likely get any cheaper while it will likely be become more necessary.
Yeah, I agree.
One thing that would help is defining European defense policy. I feel like a lot of countries are spending money without a target for what they should be trying to build.
France have enough nuclear weapons to start judgement day so I don’t see the point.
Yes, France has it. The question is how it gets used to protect the rest of Europe.
You don’t use it, that’s the point. The moment someone fires one it’s end of world situation.
You don’t use it, but you need to be able to use it for the threat to be credible.
